As previously announced, Elizabeth Caledonia Ashe is the upcoming Overwatch playable hero with ties to McCree and leader of the Deadlock Gang. The DPS hero focuses on gunslinging, acrobatics, explosives, and more.
ROLE: Damage
REAL NAME: Elizabeth Caledonia Ashe
The 29th hero to join the Overwatch roster, Ashe is a gunslinger hailing from the American Southwest—and the leader of the notorious band of outlaws known the Deadlock Gang. Armed with the Viper rifle, Ashe is a versatile damage hero, able to fire rapidly from the hip or line up a high-damage shot through her sights. She blasts enemies by throwing dynamite, and her coach gun packs a major punch, knocking foes or Ashe back for added mobility. And Ashe is not alone, calling her omnic ally Bob to join the fray when the need arises.
AN OUTLAW’S ARSENAL OF ABILITIES
- The Viper – Ashe’s lever-action rifle comes equipped with two firing modes: semi-automatic and aim-down-sight. In semi-automatic mode, the Viper shoots rapidly with a high spread. Aiming down the sights lets Ashe line up precise shots, increasing damage at the expense of speed.
- Coach Gun – Ashe’s short-range, high-impact sidearm deals big damage and knocks back enemies nearby to clear the way. It can also be used to knock back Ashe for added mobility.
- Dynamite – Throw an explosive that detonates after a delay, dealing high damage to enemies and lighting them on fire. Ashe can also shoot the dynamite to detonate it early.
- B.O.B. – Ashe’s ultimate ability summons her trusted omnic sidekick into battle. Bob rushes forward, knocks enemies into the air, and lays down suppressing fire with his arm cannons.
